GMC Sierra 1500 keeps an estimated 54% of its recent market value after 5 years — #309 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the GMC Sierra 1500 retains an estimated 54% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #309 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class by 9 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the GMC Sierra 1500 sheds about 20% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $39,695 it falls to around $21,514 by year five — a five-year loss near $18,181, about $9.96 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used GMC Sierra 1500 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
